× Last holiday I went back to the Philippines with my husband and daughter.

✓ Last holiday, I went back to the Philippines with my husband and daughter.

A comma is needed after 'Last holiday' to separate the introductory phrase from the main clause, improving sentence clarity.

× Umm it was Christmas and Christmas holidays is one of my favorite holidays and I always see to it that I went back home and enjoy it.

✓ Umm, it was Christmas and the Christmas holidays are one of my favorite holidays, and I always make sure that I go back home and enjoy them.

The subject 'Christmas holidays' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'see to it that I went back' is incorrect tense and phrasing; 'make sure that I go back' fits better. 'Enjoy it' should be 'enjoy them' to agree with the plural 'holidays'.

× Yes, I love holidays the reason is during holidays I tend to enjoy the vacation from work and those times are the time for gathering, meeting with family and friends and a lot more of.

✓ Yes, I love holidays because during holidays I tend to enjoy a vacation from work, and those times are for gathering and meeting with family and friends, among many other things.

The original sentence is a run-on and lacks proper conjunctions and prepositions. Adding 'because' clarifies the reason. 'A vacation' is more natural than 'the vacation'. 'A lot more of' is incomplete and should be replaced with 'among many other things'.

× One of the best public holiday that I like is Christmas and New Year.

✓ One of the best public holidays that I like is Christmas and New Year.

'Holiday' should be plural 'holidays' because 'one of the' refers to a member of a plural group.

× During these holidays we tend to uh, celebrate with my family and loved ones and we enjoy exchanging gifts and also celebrate.

✓ During these holidays, we tend to celebrate with my family and loved ones, and we enjoy exchanging gifts and celebrating.

The sentence needs commas for clarity. Also, 'celebrate' at the end should be 'celebrating' to parallel 'exchanging' and maintain grammatical consistency.

× Sometimes I visited my family in the Philippines and celebrate holidays with them, especially if it's Christmas and New Year.

✓ Sometimes I visit my family in the Philippines and celebrate holidays with them, especially if it's Christmas and New Year.

The sentence refers to habitual actions, so the present tense 'visit' and 'celebrate' should be used instead of past tense 'visited'.

× Every moment is a special.

✓ Every moment is special.

The article 'a' is unnecessary before the adjective 'special' when used predicatively. The correct form is 'Every moment is special.'

× The main reason is I love to relax and enjoy the moment that I am not at work.

✓ The main reason is that I love to relax and enjoy the moments when I am not at work.

Adding 'that' after 'reason is' improves sentence flow. 'Moment' should be plural 'moments' to match the general statement. 'When' is more appropriate than 'that' for time reference.

× My work is kinda stressful so I would prefer a holiday that will make.

✓ My work is kind of stressful, so I would prefer a holiday that helps me relax.

The original sentence is incomplete and informal. 'Kinda' should be 'kind of' for formal speech. The phrase 'a holiday that will make' is incomplete and needs an object or complement; 'helps me relax' completes the thought.
